29. Conclusions
• Vaccination-co-infection design is good model for PCVAD
• PRRSV vaccination amplification of PCVAD reduced growth
• SSC4 QTL had a larger effect on PRRS viremia with
primary exposure to PRRS innate immune function.
• SSC4 QTL affected PCV2b viremia but only after PRRS
vaccination
• PRRS and PCV2b viremia controlled by different
genomic regions with versus without vaccination.

Results
Within this QTL, guanylate binding protein 5 (GBP5) was differentially expressed (DE) (p < 0.05) in blood from AA versus AB rs80800372 genotyped pigs at 7,11, and 14 days post PRRSV infection. All variants within the GBP5 transcript in LD with rs80800372 exhibited allele specific expression (ASE) in AB individuals (p < 0.0001). A transcript re-assembly revealed three alternatively spliced transcripts for GBP5. An intronic SNP in GBP5, rs340943904, introduces a splice acceptor site that inserts five nucleotides into the transcript. Individuals homozygous for the unfavorable AA genotype predominantly produced this transcript, with a shifted reading frame and early stop codon that truncates the 88 C-terminal amino acids of the protein. RNA-seq analysis confirmed this SNP was associated with differential splicing by QTL genotype (p < 0.0001) and this was validated by quantitative capillary electrophoresis (p < 0.0001). The wild-type transcript was expressed at a higher level in AB versus AA individuals, whereas the five-nucleotide insertion transcript was the dominant form in AA individuals. Splicing and ASE results are consistent with the observed dominant nature of the favorable QTL allele. The rs340943904 SNP was also 100 % concordant with rs80800372 in a validation population that possessed an alternate form of the favorable B QTL haplotype.
Conclusions
GBP5 is known to play a role in inflammasome assembly during immune response. However, the role of GBP5 host genetic variation in viral immunity is novel. These findings demonstrate that rs340943904 is a strong candidate causal mutation for the SSC4 QTL that controls variation in host response to PRRSV.
AB animals the full length GBP5 protein contains a CAAX box to anchor to the cell membrane, where it can bind to phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K).
The PI3K- Akt signal transduction pathway is involved in PRRSV entry and replication. By binding to PI3K, GBP5 inhibits its activation (Figure 4a).
the system ‘thinks’ there is not enough PI3K and keeps the G-coupled protein receptor active as there is no feedback that it should be switched off, which leads to normal expression levels at 0 dpi.
AA animals the truncated GBP5 protein does not bind to PI3K, hence it does not inhibit PI3K. Therefore, the virus can use the PI3K-Akt signal transduction pathway to enter and replicate in the host cell (Figure 4b).
the system ‘thinks’ there is enough PI3K: feedback to switch the G-coupled protein receptor off, which leads to lower expression levels at 0 dpi.
